A VYRDICT score is an index on a 0–100 scale. A Viral Score of 96 means 96/100 on the VYRDICT Viral Index; it does not mean “96% of the internet thinks this is viral.” Every V2 score is built from documented signals and linked evidence.
Measures the strength of current attention around the exact product. The component scores are normalized editorial/data signals based on documented evidence, not percentages of all TikTok or Instagram posts.
Measures whether the evidence suggests the product delivers enough real-world value to justify its price and hype. Virality is deliberately a small part of Worth.
For V2 products, every score-driving claim is tied to a source record showing what was observed, when it was checked, what part of the score it supports, and the source URL wherever a public URL exists.
Current social/trend reporting, creator spread, search or demand evidence, sustained momentum, bestseller or sell-through corroboration where relevant.
Verified-buyer ratings and reviews, repeat-use signals, independent testing, recurring complaints and real-use caveats.
Official specifications, ingredients or features, price, product identity, retailer data and category-relative value.
V2 publishing uses an evidence gate. New products cannot publish with only a manually entered final score.
The verdict comes from Worth, not fame.
The Skip List identifies products whose attention substantially outruns their Worth evidence.
This is an evidence-based VYRDICT editorial/data assessment, not a claim that a product is unsafe or universally bad.
Trends, prices, reviews and products change. VYRDICT stores verification dates and review timing so a score can be rechecked instead of treated as permanent.
V2 evidence records carry observation/verification timing, while products have last-verified and next-review dates.
If we cannot support a component strongly, the confidence level should fall. If an exact image, retailer or source cannot be verified, we would rather leave it incomplete than invent evidence.
Older VYRDICT products were researched under the original structured editorial methodology. We are migrating them into the V2 evidence ledger product by product. A V2 evidence badge means the product has passed the stricter source-linked standard described above.
VYRDICT signal scores involve structured editorial normalization of evidence. They are not laboratory measurements, platform-wide percentages, medical advice or guarantees of an individual result. For health, skincare and wellness claims, stronger independent or clinical evidence may be required depending on the claim.
